hp digital home networking phoneline gateway

Congratulations on your purchase of the HP Digital Home Networking Phoneline Gateway. The Phoneline Gateway is the perfect solution for connecting your multiple PCs to a high-speed broadband cable modem or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet connection.

Your Gateway can be configured as a Dynamic Host Conffiguration Protocol (DHCP) server, which means that it can automatically assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to PCs in your Local Area Network (LAN). The Gateway becomes your only visible network device on the Internet.

The Gateway also serves as your Internet firewall, protecting your networked PCs from access by external users. All incoming data is monitored and filtered using a firewall. You can configure your Gateway to permit playing Internet games and video conferencing, and you can use IP filtering to block your users from access to the Internet as needed.

The groundbreaking technology inside every HP Digital Home Networking Phoneline Gateway delivers Internet and network connectivity at speeds up to 10 Mbps. Now all of your network users can enjoy fast broadband Internet access and share internal data.
